Instead of signing a contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson could sign a one-year deal next offseason and become an available free agent in 2016.

The NBA's salary cap is expected to rise in 2016. Still, Thompson prefer the security of a new deal now instead of waiting for a potential cap rise.

"It really is tempting to do all that," Thompson said. "But I'd rather have the security right now, you know?

"I'm confident. I think both sides know I want to stay with this organization. I really love the Bay, I love the organization, the front office, my teammates. I'm confident we can get it done."

Stephen Curry understands he could have signed a more lucrative contract than the four-year, $44 million deal in 2012, but Thompson's backcourt mate seems more content on cashing in with the Warriors and continuing to develop as a team.

"We've got a good thing going," Curry said. "For us to hopefully have some long-term security for us to be together and knowing that we can focus on trying to build something truly special, championship-caliber, we feel very capable of that. So we'll see."
